Irrigation

The following from the Redlands Citrogrsph will apply equally well to Arizona.
 Uutil recently the residents of Central California had ss a stock argument that their lands were better than ours because they did not have to irrigate. Their truit was better favored than ours be- cause it had not been irrigated. Of course 1t was not true, but they had re- pested It SO often that they really be- lIeved in it religiously.
 Now, however, a change has come over them. Some few courageous ones made the experiment. of irrigation and were sstonIshed and delighted. The fever spread and now there are irrigation enter prises projected that will cost millions of doIlsrs-snd IL will be money well spent too.
 The Coluss Sun has been one of the ardent believers in irrigation, and has done and IS doing yeomsn service. In the last issue it prints the following in tervlev, which shows that the people are waking up to the benefits of irriga- ton and the results that have been and m ay be sttsined:
 We met W, 5. Anderssn on the street Tuesday evening, and knowing that be was pioneer irrigatOr m the Elk Greek neighbOrhoOd, or Stony Orees, We Tell into conversation with him. A lew years sgo he purchased a small tract of land on the creek, entirely on credit, snd hsd nothing but hls hands. He started in the first place to dig ditch out ot the creek to irrigste 1t. His neighbors laughed at him. They said 1t would not stand irrigation, and that nothing but failure could result; but he kept st work and put ID forty acres of alfalfa This grew SO as to astOnlsh the neigh borhood. He planted vegetables fruit trees etc. and soon begun to get ahead. Some of his neighbOrs followed hIs ex- ample and they succeeded. A short tune ago Mir.

He came home and sold the farm on the creek, for which had paid s30O0, for S7 800 snd paid for bis Fresno farm. So valuable has tho water idea become at the creek since Mir.

To Resume.

Alonzo Baily was in receipt of tele- gram from Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, on the 20th, in which 1t wss announced that new parties are organizing for active work on the Hope (Msck Morris) and Golden Eagle mines.
 Dr. Trippel has also been informed by a New York party in the new organize ton, that the Mack Morris and Golden Eagle groups of mines will shortly be ut in operation.
 It is 8 conceded fsct that the Mack Morris mines under the proper manage raent. will prove a leading silver pro ducer ct the territory, having yielded resrly tbree-qusrters of million ID about two yesrs. The ores are very similar to those found on Lander Hill, Austin, Nevada.
 With regard to the group of Golden Eagle mines, they are substantially gold mines, with mixed pyrIteous ore, whose most economic trestmept will depend on s close examination of its character; but 1t is believed that these mines will show themselves large producers of gold. Silver Belt.

STATE sovereignty in Mexico appears oonclusively to be dead issue. Torres, the recently elected governor of Sonora. has been summarily dismissed from office by President Disz and vice.Go Coral has been ordered to assume the functions of governor. The re asons for the removal we have not learned, but such Bn attempted action on part of a president of the United States would be sufficient cause for his impeachment and downfall. The two countries, although sister republics, do business differently and from our point of view, Mexico has much to learn on the principles of re- publican government The new Gov ernor Coral is said to be predisposed against Americans.
